red letters

Windows XP Home , Internet Explorer. When viewing items at various websites
that I return to ,i.e., Craig's list, every time I select a category it
turns red and stays that way. How can I clear the chalk board of all the
red?I used the systems tools did a Disk Cleanup of the temp files.Still
there.
Thanks,

I will clear the history. I know where that is. Where do I find teh cache
files? Is that somewhere in the Disk Cleanup?

I suspect you are describing "visited links", which are usually shown in
a purple color. This is normal and expected. Unvisited links are blue
(standard), unless the page author has changed the color(s) with his
code.

You can clear your browser's history, and then it no longer remembers
you "visited" those links, and they would be blue again. The idea is to
remind you where you have been, and all browsers operate in this manner.

I cleared the browser history and it did just fine. thanks. btw, I am
colorblind and thought it was turning red.

I'm a former commercial photographer and one of my customers was a guy
that owned a large construction supply company. He was colorblind. He'd
look at an 8x10 color glossy and say "I know I'm colorblind, but even I
can tell this is too green!" The color was perfect, he just couldn't
tell it. He was the only customer I ever fired.

Which IMO is a dumb default. Too close to blue; they don't pop out at
you like they should.

Yay configurability.

People can do the weirdest things. I still do a lot of video work. I had
one woman who wanted me to shoot some video of a dog, any dog, that had
been killed on the highway. It was to promote some animal humane shelter
something or the other. It was to be shown in a theater before the movie
started.

I told her "Lady, if I just paid $8 to get a ticket and $12 for some
popcorn and a Coke, I don't really want to see hamburger all over the
highway." She insisted, I told her to **** off.
